UNIC 11_1 Explore Strategies for Enhancing Sustainability in Teaching Practices

This workshop is part of UNIC InterTeach – UNIC’s professional development programme for university teachers under the theme Education for Sustainable Development. The goal of the workshop is to explore the fundamental concepts of Sustainable Development, reflect upon one’s​ own field’s impact on the society and the environment, exchange best-practices for taking sustainable development into account in teaching, and formulate a strategic action plan for integrating ESD principles into participants’ teaching methodologies.

In the workshop you will meet university educators of partner-universities of the UNIC-Alliance, who are based in: Belgium, Croatia, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and Turkey.

This workshop aims to provide educators with the knowledge to incorporate sustainable development into their pedagogical practices. Participants will explore the different aspects and frameworks of sustainability such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Agenda 2030 and discuss their possible critiques. We will also look at the essential competencies for sustainable development. Through collaborative activities and peer feedback, attendees will formulate actionable plans to integrate these concepts into their teaching methodologies.​
